Not at DaVaris Daniels, Kendall Moore, KeiVarae ...
After a nice solid holiday break from work, a bit of serious writing here (and non-serious writing like the Roundups), a trip out to the BCS title game (post coming soon), catching up from a load of work at the day job, and completely failing at trying to host a Google+ Hangout, it's time to get back into the swing of things. So yes, that means it's time to get the Friday Roundups going again in 2014. Now, unfortunately, I don't have anything particularly witty, funny, or really anything ...
